The Sun. — London, England, 1818-02-19 00:00:00

FOR. THE SUN. ED - ITOl{,-1 wil; confess to you, thit,ivith- nut any very - elevated prepos%essions in favour of the lioetality of our ultra liberal Opposition, without any very exalted notion of the delicacy or 'olheitince of their Official Oracle, I was„as 'much surprised an - di7;g,trsted Cwhi . ch is saying a .great deal), On rtadini:, in the !Horning Chronicle, '.t3 first record of the ctrocious aild diabolical attempt Upon the Lire of the Duke of Wellington, the folloWing paragraph r.- 4 ‘ 'rhe primate Letters from Pa'ris'spealt of -rnt AliFArR•Ot the shot SAID to be fired At - the nuke of IVELLitsio'rot4 as a DE'Vt6B on the part of Ilros'e whop wish 'tor a pretext to keep the Allied Armies in France. Sortie say it was the Report of a detonating ball. Will there be a Green Bag and a Secret Committee ! ! !" Now, Sir, is there a. truly British heart that naturally revolts from the alien crime of assassina tion, which must not turn with horror and dis gust from this base attempt of a Faction, in the very moment of anattempted midnight assassination being made known to the Public, to throw an air of ridicule upon the AFFAIR, and tO shelter the Assassin, by throwing round his crime an air of doubt and ridicule! Is the guilt incurred by our great Captain, in tearing the bloody laurels from the brow of BUONAPARTE, inexpiable in the eyes of the Party ? Can the crime of having' falsified every prediction of the infallibility of their Corsi can Idol be washed away by nothing short or the bloOd of his Conqueror ? Must the Coorpteror find Pacificator be immolated to gratify the disap pointed ambition of those who look only to disaster and national disgrace, as the means of sating and gratifying it ? Or, is the glory and exaltas ion of the man, whom the " busy mockers' and ballad- mongers of the Party laboured to laud► down, as " the gallant Baron of Douro," so insupportable tl3 to require the proffer of a premium to any des perate wretch who may remove him from their view ? Good God, Sir, are we so deeply inoculated . With the French p 1 ilosophisin ; are we so strong ly tainted with the principles of Yircobinism (which comprehensive term embraces the over- throw of the whole pure Christ inn scheme, of dory to Gad on high—and peace and good-will towards man), as to sit 'down tamely under an insult thus offered to the feelings of the Nation, and to the dignity of our nature ? No, let souse public vehicle be formed to convey to the people of Europe our Protest against the principles of a Faction which, in despair of obtaining its object, attempts to give power and influence to the mis sionaries of Blasphemy and Sedition—and holds out encouragement to assassination, by making every unsuccessful attempt an object of ridicule or doubt ! You trill perceive, Sir,. that there is no injus tice in this charge, because it is not made upon a single or solitary instance. The-system is proved, by a repetition of the same mantruvres, which were previously successful, in encouraging a ge .rieral opinion among the ignorant classes of the community, that the attempted Assassination of tie PRINCE. , REGENT was a fabrication of Minis ters—not only by throwing an air of doubt upon evidence which was unquestionable, but by an artifice to disprove facts which were open to the investigation of •every man in the kingdom. Thus, until some fatal catastrophe occur—until some noble victim is offered up to the malevolent srmbition of an unprincipled Faction, an air of doubt is to be thrown over the schemes and plots of traitors and assassins, in order to cherish and ripen them into action !—The PRINCE REGENT had incurred the high displeasure of these men by re jecting them from his Councils—and when we trace the effects of disappointment upon the am bitious and malignant passions'of our nature, when released front the obligations of m✓ral and re ligious restraint, we may account, though we blush, for the motives of their base policy;—but in the case before us we can trace none but the viciously refined motive, arising from the disappointment and frustration of their hopes in the do7unfall and zubjugation of the Country, from which the valour and energy of our great and magnanimous Gene ral essentially contributed to rescue it. Thus has he fallcn'ender their inveterate and unceasing barred ! And surely it Britons have eyes to see, and intellect to comprehend, they cannot he nil's taken—or be further deluded ty to the objects and wishes of that portion at least of the faction which unblushingly identifies itself with the dregs of democracy and with " acquitted felons !" Can the constant defenders of such men as DESPARD and O'CoNNott, can the. contributors to the sup port and elevation of HoN a, who is unknown to the Public, but as the author and distributor of blasphemous libels, %rho are the ransackers of . Prisons a►nd Bride ells, for specitrecs of irno 'sense, purity, anti pitiriolisai tie Disciples And High PrieSis' of ARBITRARY Povi'Ea—ihe xtra-nfficiat iiii•ert of the banished Usurper Of a People's riightS, and the Tyrant of Enrope ; can, 1 say. 'such men, Who, professing the same Creed, ahjiire Os heretical all tile high principles of our great forefathers, and not may impugn the Motives of ALL who adhere to the support of the Constitution—but direct thiair bitterest anathemas against every man, Who, by the wisdom of his Coun cils, or the magiinintity of his cduiluct, has con tributed to uphold his Country during the peri lous crisis it has had to soStaii, ;—can such men he trusted because they eail theasclues PATRIOTS ? It tlieFe are individuals (and such I am grieved to 'Say there are) to be found in the ranks of this un principled Faction, who May shrink from the im putations thus charged home Upon them, let them cothe out from among. them ; let then, reflect that until they &hew themselves ashathed of their eon federateS, they are tainted ‘Vith their infamy— and go forth to the Country identified with it'. If ever there 'teas a crisis in the History of this Country Wthtu honest men were called upon to declare themselves, and to unite in the face of the People, we are kow arrived at it. If we wait 'till the INFERNAL MACHINE burst, it will be lea late to save the Empire. FALKLAND. FAR LIA ENTARY PAPERS. CLfMBING BOYS.

LONDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 151 S. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Monday last. They continue the same system of entire silence with respect to the recent attempt on the life of the Duke of I rVELLINGTON. There is not a syllable in them with regard to the dis covery of the assassin, nor is the Duke even ()Ace mentioned. The .41thite;ir contains a Royal Ordonnanee, di reeting, with a view to the exercise of the Royal clemency in cases. deserving of it, that the Pro cnreitrs•General, Sce. Should render an account every three mouths of the conduct of the Con %,icts in the different prisons,. distinguishing those %vim, had become particularly remarkable for their good conduct and indiustrv - , and' who should he considered eligible to participate in the Royal clsmency.
